Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1588 - Buddha is one foot high, Tao is ten feet high

Lingji Bodhisattva, filled with resentment, left the heartbreaking place that was Western Heaven.

He flew wildly, his eyes filled with unspeakable resentment and gloom.

Standing outside the small Mount Sumeru, Lingji Bodhisattva could see Chu Hao and the others standing in the hall, calmly drinking tea.

He could even vaguely hear their conversation.

"Boss, do you think that Tathagata Buddha will obediently hand over those things?"

"Based on my understanding of him, he won't."

"Heh heh, Boss, why are you so sure? That Lingji Bodhisattva is quite loyal to Western Heaven, otherwise he wouldn't be waiting for you here, and he wouldn't have handed over so many things for nothing. If it weren't for his devotion to Western Heaven, what kind of idiot would mortgage his family property?"

"Well, the only kind of person who can be so loyal in Western Heaven and still live well is the White Lotus Boy."

"Heh heh heh, indeed, otherwise who would have such a fortune? The White Lotus Boy has such a strong background that even if he made Western Heaven obediently hand over compensation, he wouldn't get into trouble. But that Lingji Bodhisattva obviously doesn't have as strong a background as the White Lotus Boy."

"I reckon he just went to Western Heaven for a stroll, begging his grandfathers and grandmothers, but with the virtue of that group in Western Heaven, they probably heard that what was being mortgaged was his treasure, and they were definitely overjoyed, secretly calling him an idiot. How could they possibly help him pay it back?"

"That's right, I wonder if he can even come back alive."

"What does it matter to us? We have the Wind-Calming Pill, so we can continue our journey west."

"Hahahaha, drink tea, drink tea. The tea of this new Lingji Bodhisattva is really good. It seems he's someone with a bit of wealth."

"Otherwise, how could he have been tricked into becoming Lingji Bodhisattva?"

"Hahahaha..."

Chu Hao and the Journey to the West group were eating and drinking in the small Mount Sumeru, using all of Lingji Bodhisattva's things, while Lingji Bodhisattva was the stray dog abandoned by Western Heaven, who had lost all his family property, had to run around, and failed to get his family property back!

Indeed, people's joys and sorrows cannot be shared. Feeling the laughter of the Journey to the West group in his home, Lingji Bodhisattva only felt noise.

Especially since everything they were eating, living in, and using was all things he had exchanged for with generations of family property!

This scene further stimulated Lingji Bodhisattva!

His heart was filled with memories of these past generations.

From being a king in the human world, squeezing all the people to offer treasures every day, to later killing his wife and daughters to seek the path to Buddhahood, and arriving in the Western Paradise.

Then, in the Western Paradise, he worked as a low-level servant sweeping and dumping dung for who knows how many Yuanhui.

Even so, for Lingji Bodhisattva, he was still grateful, after all, being able to become a Buddha and ancestor was his dream for generations.

However, when he exhausted all his wealth, but took on this fruit position that went hand in hand with death, and all his wealth was still extorted by Western Heaven, Lingji Bodhisattva had gone mad.

Generations of efforts, generations of savings, exchanged for a fruit position that sought its own death, not to mention having to add his life savings, and possibly even his life!

Such a Western Heaven was not worth it!

The resentment in Lingji Bodhisattva's eyes was simply like a demon!

Of course, Lingji Bodhisattva would not do anything to defect to the Law Enforcement Hall. He had some self-awareness. First, the Law Enforcement Hall would not want him, after all, he was weak and insignificant.

Second, that谛听 (Dìtīng) had been spying on the Journey to the West, and his next revenge could not be exposed. If he defected to the Law Enforcement Hall, once Western Heaven found out, he would not be able to take revenge on Western Heaven!

He would rather not have all his family property than not make all the Buddhas pay the price!

The next second, Lingji Bodhisattva's eyes showed determination, and he turned and flew down.

Inside the small Mount Sumeru.

The Journey to the West group was still happily eating Lingji Bodhisattva's treasured delicacies, when suddenly, Lingji Bodhisattva rushed in with a heavy face.

The others didn't even look at Lingji Bodhisattva.

Only Pigsy said jokingly:

"Lingji Bodhisattva, didn't I ask you to go to Tathagata Buddha for revenge? Where are the things?"

Lingji Bodhisattva lowered his head, his expression full of evasiveness, and after a long time, he said:

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I didn't complete your mission, but my Buddha said that after the Journey to the West is over, he will definitely make up for everything..."

Pigsy couldn't help but laugh.

"Someone, feed the Bodhisattva a pancake."

Even Tang Sanzang put his hands together and shook his head. Even dogs wouldn't eat this pancake.

Lingji Bodhisattva gritted his teeth, looked at Chu Hao, and said with a straight face:

"Immortal Lord, Western Heaven's reimbursement can't come down for the time being, but this is the contribution I should make for the Journey to the West. I am willing to pay for those treasures, so I dare not ask you to return them to me..."

After Lingji Bodhisattva said this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Even Chu Hao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Western Heaven is too awesome, right? How can they cultivate a good person into this?

And Lingji Bodhisattva ignored everyone's contemptuous eyes and continued:

"I don't expect to get back everything, but if possible, please return to me one of my acquired spiritual treasures, a hairpin, and I am willing to exchange it for this demon core."

"That hairpin is my wife's relic, I don't want to lose her..."

Chu Hao always felt a little strange. This Lingji Bodhisattva didn't seem like a particularly affectionate person. Why did he mention this at this time?

However, a gentleman helps others to achieve their beauty. Chu Hao didn't plan to take that relic, so he generously handed over the hairpin.

And Lingji Bodhisattva also respectfully handed over that demon core.

However, when Chu Hao casually took the demon core, his eyes suddenly flickered for a moment, but it was only fleeting.

This demon core was a communication crystal disguised as a demon core. Just by holding the crystal, Chu Hao obtained all the information.

It was all of Western Heaven's plans for the future.

Although Chu Hao's face was expressionless, his heart was already surging. He didn't expect things to be so terrifying!

If Lingji Bodhisattva hadn't informed him in advance, if he had stepped into the ambush without knowing it, he would probably have had difficulty retreating completely!

And Chu Hao also instantly understood why Lingji Bodhisattva didn't use sound transmission, only because...谛听 (Dìtīng) had been monitoring the Journey to the West.

谛听 (Dìtīng) could easily hear everything Lingji Bodhisattva said and did.

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes. With this news, he could turn defense into offense!

Exactly, as the saying goes, the Tao is one foot higher, and the devil is one foot higher!

No, the Buddha is one foot higher, and the Tao is one foot higher!
